Pattern for Romance

I read this whole book last night, I couldn't put it down. Carla Olson Gade has packed a lot into her Quilts of Love book, Pattern for Romance.

Honour Metcalf is a very talented and dedicated quilter who works for Margaret Wadsworth, the mantua maker in Boston. She is also the guardian for her young sister, Temperance. Honour meets Joshua Sutton in the middle of a hail storm that has given her a concussion. During the storm, she loses her work bag that her mother made for her. In it are all the tools of her trade and losing it seriously handicaps her ability to work.

From the very beginning, Honour intrigues Joshua and he finds reasons to be with her, inviting her employer to share space with his father's business, helping her find her work bag, replacing her lost items from the bag, and intervening on her sister's behalf at school.

There are complications, missed turns, and road blocks on the way to true love, but Honour and Joshua seem to find their way through.

Even though this is a fairly light read, it is a great book. Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a quilting needle.
